Not quite the shelter of a window ledge, but often with great views, there’s always the rooftop ledge.

Best just for a stop off rather than an overnightdue to the high winds. Getting blown off during a bit of shuteye is not only embarassing, it can be quite confusing.

Here are a couple of examples of London’s rooftop ledges. This particular one being on Pratt Street in Camden, North London:

The ’standard flat’.

Again, this is ususally found on council blocks. What’s always quite a good laugh is finding one with one of these on it:

A satellite dish.

It’s what makes pictures come out of a television, unless you walk or fly backwards and forwards in front of it. Fucking funny. Even better, do it a little bit everyday until a man in a van from Sky turns up. Then fuck off to the rooftop next door and watch him trying to fix it.

The best thing about rooftops in Camden is they are close to Camden Market. If you want a decent throwaway or fancy shitting on some goths - Camden Market on a Saturday and Sunday is the place to be.

Here’s another ’standard flat’ in Camden:

This one’s near Georgiana Street.

Coz Camden used to be quite a shit place to live there’s loads of council houses and therefore LOADS of standard flat rooftops. Trouble is though, what you gain in the flat roof you loose in the window ledge.

London’s all about compromise, especially for a pigeon.
